There are two parts to that discussion. One is the possibility of setting permissions in OS X so that the drive is read only. But can that be done before the system writes its little files to it? The other part is the fact that a disk drive with the Windows NTFS format will normally be read only on a Mac. NTFS is proprietary to Microsoft, and it's not a format you want for a Mac auxiliary drive. Windows identifies the drive I'm working with as FAT32 and not NTFS. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
